Clink!

For awhile now I've been wanting to have a semi-regular feature that focuses on cocktails and spirits. I've finally decided to make that a reality. The purpose of Clink! is to focus on cocktail and drinking events around Dallas and talk about what the Architect and I are drinking.

So let's get started. In the next few weeks there will be quite a few cocktail and beer events happening around town.

1. This Thursday is the Dallas Beer Snobs beer dinner at Il Cane Rosso in Deep Ellum. Spots are still available but going fast. Info here.

2. On Monday, May 2, 2011, The Cedars Social will be hosting a cocktail tasting with liquor distributor Haus Alpenz. The tasting will feature pre-prohibition cocktails made with lesser known liquors such as Crème de Violette, Dolin Vermouth’s and Velvet Falernum. Cocktails will be 4.00 each. Tasting is from 6 to 7:30pm.

3. May 13-14, 2011 is the North Texas Beer Festival at the Plano Center. There will speakers, classes, live music and of course, beer tastings.
